VM3404H, by ATEN
The What: The VM3404H and VM3909H from ATEN International extend uncompressed video, audio, power, and control via HDBaseT-Lite through a single LAN cable up to 70 meters.

The What Else: ATEN’s VM3404H and VM3909H feature four to nine HDMI inputs and four to nine mirrored HDMI/HDBaseT outputs, respectively. When a mirrored HDMI output is connected to a display, it can be used to verify the corresponding HDBaseT output or as an additional video display.

The VM3404H and VM3909H offer flexibility through their choice of control methods, such as front-panel pushbuttons, IR channel ports, RS-232, and Ethernet (Telnet/Web GUI) connections. Bi-directional IR channel ports support control of AV sources locally at the switch or remotely at the display. The Ethernet connectivity makes it easier for installers to create a cable infrastructure in situations where displays are scattered, such as in digital signage applications.
